Theists, instead of directing your replies as to what would happen if no god exists, use the example of another god, the Hindu Gods, The Islamic God, etc.

Going to the Christian Heaven...having to live forever and never being able to die. One episode of Star Trek Voyager addressed this dilemma when it had a member of the Q Continuum (a group of eternal, god-like beings) who had grown tired of the endless eternities because he had experienced all there was to experience and just wanted to commit suicide and not exist any longer. How long do you think it would take for strumming a harp and singing praises of hallelujah to become dull and boring? Eventually, if we don't have a continually challenging and diverse environment, we will die, yet in heaven you cannot die.
One of major reason Heaven would be the ultimate Hell for me is never seeing my loved ones again. (My loved ones are not Christian so therefore would not be in Heaven.) Having my memories wiped clean so I can't even remember them. Jesus claims that in heaven, all tears will be wiped away and all things will be made new. As human individuals we must have memory of our past experiences for our lives to have any meaning to us personally. If your memories were taken away, the person you were would cease to exist to you, so conscious memory of who you are (self-realization) is what gives your life true meaning. Being forced to bow down to a God who I consider a sadistic monster. There are worse fates than the sleep of the dead. Eternal stagnation as a slave of the collective will of YHVH would certainly be worse than death.

The worst thing is that my soul exists like stone without spirituality.
The Messengers of the One True God teach us to develop our spiritual qualities to live spiritually there, if we don't learn we may continue our life there like a disabled baby here.
But the baby does not have the ability to make choice about developing his senses in the womb, while we can make the choice here, so we will be responsible for our wrong choice. We cannot blame God for His divine law of causality. That is why there is the repeated call for repentance.

The worst thing I could think of. Is if you died was buried and then woke up,,,,, and had to die all over again slowly and know it...
once your gone ,,,, I really don't think there is anything out there except a deep sleep. So enjoy life while you know you can... You can have fun and still be a good person and if there is a God or Gods they will have a place for a compassionate person.

I do not believe anything BAD will happen after my death< believe me, have had a near death experience.
I will go to heaven, without a doubt.
If there was no heaven, or GOD, what would be the purpose of following laws of any kind. God or MANS law.
Life is like a big Puzzle, every life, every death, every good or bad event that one endures, is just a small piece of this great puzzle.

If I act against The Word of God I will be subjected to the second death.

genuinely, you're making an ideas-blowing factor. For all all of us understand, dying may be a clean initiating, and many religions do view dying as a clean initiating. besides the reality that that's no longer actual for anybody. i think of a lot of human beings concern dying because of the fact it an unknown. we will not possibly understand what dying skill for our lives till the day we've genuinely died and considered the aftermath for ourselves. Now, as a Christian, i've got faith as quickly as I die, i will sleep till the Day of Judgement, whilst all will bypass to Heaven or Hell. i'm particular of my very own salvation, besides the reality that I concern for people who're no longer saved. in spite of the undeniable fact that, the only reason i'm uncomfortable with dying on the 2d is as a results of the fact i'm quite youthful, only 21. i'm petrified of leaving this international while not having quite lived in it.

You seem to need to choose between so many things. Wouldn't it be easier for you to know that there's only one God? Your question suggests that there is a God. Why not go one step farther and ask Him Who He is?

Reincarnation makes the most sense, both logically and any possible scientific plausibility. So I'll go with reincarnation.

the worst thing would be for a person to go hell.... A place where they would be screaming mercy and ASKING GOD TO GIVE THEM A SECOND CHANCE! NO SECOND CHANCES IN HELL NOW IS THE TIME TO REALIZE JESUS HAS THE SAVIOR!
GOD BLESS

Well there's the thought of spending eternity with a lot of self righteous Christians bragging about being saved while laughing at those who went to hell.
Wait, that would BE hell....
